I was wondering how long I can keep this iron turned on in the horizontal position sitting on the pad that came with it? I make quilts and am back and forth between the sewing machine and the iron for several hours at a time. Of course I'm used to sitting an iron 'on end' during this back and forth process. I have a feeling of panic just walking away from the iron while it is sitting in the horizontal position on the pad while it is still on. I'm afraid that if I keep turning it on and off several times a day that the 'on/off' switch will eventually wear out and I won't be able to turn the iron on one day. I believe that is what has happened with all my previous household irons. Any help or information you can give me regarding this will be most appreciated. Thank you,
VickiVicki, you have the silicone iron rest that is reinforced with metal inside, so you can leave the gravity feed iron on in a horizontal position anytime while you are going back and forth to your sewing and pattern table work. You only need to turn the iron off when you are leaving the room and don't know when you will be back. The iron rest should also be put on a table or ironing board surface that can take any residual heat being transferred to the surface of your ironing board or table. PS If your silicone rest pad had no metal reinforcement, then the pad needs to be set on metal, not directly your ironing board or table.
Thank you so much for the information you have given me. I love this iron and now will truly enjoy it without fear of burning my house down. My silicone iron rest does include the metal on the inside as a magnet attaches itself to it readily. I think I'm in good shape. Again, thanks for your help. Vicki
